2 S. Korean bodies found on island

None

South Korea says the burnt bodies of two male civilians have been found on an island attacked by North Korea. The South Korean Coast Guard says the two construction workers were found Wednesday. They're believed to be in their sixties. The discovery comes a day after a frightening military skirmish between the Koreas ratcheted tensions on the peninsula to new extremes.
